TilesWhat Is A Tile?
Function Overview
The field (also known as a map) that serves as the setting for your game is created by putting together parts called "tiles". In the Tiles tool, you can manage the images used as tiles, and various elements of each tile, such as wall settings (making tiles impassable), animations, and effects when touched by a character.
The tiles you create can be used in the "Scene" tool to draw a field.
The Three Types of Tile
The three types of tile are as follows.
Standard Tiles | Orthodox tiles that can be used to create things like walls and floors. |
---|---|
Gimmick Tiles | Tiles that can have a gimmick added to them, such as playing back a sound effect, displaying an object, or triggering a switch or variable. |
Auto Tiles | Tiles that are automatically set to have a certain effect when placed in a scene, such as links or barriers. Compared to the other two types, they have fewer potential settings. |
Tile Management & Tilesets
This program can manage tiles by compiling multiple tiles into a single unit called a tileset. Each tileset can designate a single image that serves as its source. It's convenient to use folders when you want to manage all the tiles in different tilesets (images).
